Abstract

Paediatricians are more likely than ever to encounter patients with mental health problems on a daily basis. There is a need for investment in proven treatments, such as psychology-based interventions, for children identified with mental health disorders. There are four main arguments supporting the engagement of psychologists for children with mental health problems: there is clear evidence that psychological interventions can effectively treat a wide range of mental health disorders; many parents and children are more open to exploring psychological therapies rather than medication for mental health problems; psychologists are trained and licensed to perform psychoeducational assessments, which can provide invaluable information about a child's learning profile, attention problems and overall intelligence; and behaviour problems in children can be prevented or improved through parent-based interventions. The authors' strongly advocate for the public funding of psychology services - both in collaborative primary care models and in the school setting.

  • Several barriers including stigma, time, and financial costs prevent access to, and engagement with, evidence-based care.

    “While clinician-led cognitive behavior therapy effectively improves IU, several barriers including stigma, time, and financial costs prevent access to, and engagement with, evidence-based care (Brown, Rice, Rickwood, & Parker, 2016; van den Heuvel, Barozzino, Milligan, Ford-Jones, & Freeman, 2016), with two-thirds of diagnosed youth not receiving the help they need (Merikangas et al., 2011).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
